Jiankang City is currently besieged on all sides, the north gate Xuanwu Gate is attacked by Wei Ran himself, the south gate is attacked by Hu Song, the east gate is led by Xiao Yi, the king of Changsha, and the west gate is led by Xiao Ju himself.

As the news of the breakdown of Jingkou reached Wei Ran's army, the army's morale was greatly boosted, and Wei Ran randomly let people say that Zhang Gui and Zhang Zemao led an army of 30,000 to return to Jiankang, and concentrated their forces to attack the north gate, with Wang Lie responsible for guarding Jingkou, Tan Xuan responsible for collecting ships near Jingkou, and Chen Qing responsible for escorting the grain route from Wu County to eastern Zhejiang.

Xiao Luan personally appeared at Xuanyang Gate, standing on the top of the city tower and looking at Xiao Ju's army in the distance, Xiao Ju's army was waiting for him, Xiao Ju sat in the center, and saw Xiao Luan standing on the city tower from a distance.

Seeing this, Xiao Ju stepped forward, and then made people shout Xiao Luan.

After Xiao Luan heard Xiao Ju's shout, he smiled slightly, and then ordered: "Ask Xiao Ju, can you hope that Xuanyang Gate will meet next." ”

When the news reached Xiao Ju's ears, Xiao Ju thought for a while, and then said, "Meet outside Xuanyang Gate." ”

Then Xiao Ju ordered the army to retreat one mile, and slowly approached Xuanyang Gate with only a few dozen personal guards.

Seeing this, Xiao Luan just laughed, and then led the guards out of the Xuanyang Gate, seeing that the position chosen by Xiao Ju was outside the range of the bow and arrow, Xiao Luan couldn't help but mock: "Big brother is really cautious." ”

Xiao Ju was not angry, and Le Ma said: "The second brother is quite bold now, no wonder he dares to kill the king and usurp the throne." ”

"The eldest brother is wrong, it is not me who killed the king, but Chen Yuan'er, the personal eunuch next to His Majesty." Xiao Luan said, the war horse under his crotch swayed from side to side: "Now that the eldest brother has led the army here, my father doesn't know how to feel under Jiuquan." ”

"Chen Yuan'er has already told the matter and the plate, but it is the second brother, now that my army is approaching Jiankang, why is the second brother obsessed with silence, if I surrender at this time, I can still protect the second brother." Xiao Ju smiled faintly, and then said, "Why waste the lives of the soldiers and civilians in Jiankang City." ”

Hearing Xiao Ju's words, Xiao Luan couldn't help laughing: "Big brother really seems to me as before, but now either you die or I die, where is there room for turnaround." ”

Seeing that Xiao Ju was silent, Xiao Luan said again: "You were only a few years earlier than I was born, why can you sit on the throne of this prince." Indecisive, mother-in-law and mother are like a woman, and only under my leadership can Daqi rule the four seas. ”

Xiao Ju looked at Xiao Luan, who looked like a madman in front of him, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then shook his head: "Second brother, you are wrong, you have too much to do with the Shi clan, if I want to establish immortal feats, the noble family of the Shi clan will become a stumbling block for us to move forward." Lu Ke has no tolerance for people, and he is so beautiful in gold and silver, if you are in power, the people will be in dire straits. ”

Looking at Xiao Luan, whose expression was constantly changing, Xiao Ju said again: "Now you are even contacting Beiqin to lure the wolf into the room, if Beiqin will repel me, second brother, do you think you can keep Jiankang alive?" ”

When Xiao Luan heard this, his face changed greatly, and after a long time, Xiao Luan slowly opened his eyes and said coldly: "It turns out that you already know that I asked for help from Northern Qin." ”

"If it weren't for the collusion with Northern Qin, you wouldn't have used such a poisonous trick to kill me outside the healthy city."

"So far, it's useless to talk too much, under this Jiankang City, you and I can only live one, this is the will of God."

"Why does the second brother have to be obsessed?"

"Big brother, you don't want to say it so nicely, once you rule over the world, many things will be involuntarily, I now know that this throne is not easy to sit on, but I have no way out. Only by killing you and me can the throne be completely secured, and only by killing me can you calm the hearts of the people in the world. ”

After Xiao Luan finished saying this, he looked at the soldiers behind Xiao Ju, and then looked at Xiao Ju with a sad look on his face.

Xiao Luan slowly walked towards Xiao Ju, Xiao Ju was immersed in pain at this time, and he couldn't help but say, "I really don't want to be like this." ”

But Xiao Ju's eyes suddenly widened, Xiao Luan suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve, stabbed Xiao Ju fiercely, and came straight to Xiao Ju's heart, Xiao Ju did not carry a weapon, so he had to dodge in a hurry, but he was still stabbed by Xiao Luan.

Seeing this, Xiao Ju's personal guards hurriedly stepped forward, and the soldiers behind Xiao Luan also hurried forward, and the two sides fought together, Xiao Ju had fallen to the ground from his horse at this time, with something unbelievable on his face, staring at Xiao Luan deadly.

"The most ruthless emperor family, big brother, you are still too naïve." Xiao Luan laughed, and the horse's hooves were raised high to trample on Xiao Ju.

At this critical moment, Chen Yuan'er suddenly rushed over and pounced on Xiao Ju, the horse's hooves fell fiercely, and Chen Yuan'er sprayed a mouthful of blood directly on Xiao Ju's face.

But Xiao Luan had no chance to start, so he hurriedly retreated to Jiankang City, and the soldiers snatched Xiao Ju and Chen Yuaner back to the camp.

Wei Ran, who was at the north gate, learned of this and immediately rushed to Xinting.

After Wei Ran entered the new pavilion, he went straight to Xiao Ju's room, and saw Xiao Ju lying on the bed, his face was pale, and he was still in a coma.

Wei Ran grabbed the imperial doctor and shouted hysterically: "How is Your Majesty's situation!" ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and then cried and said: "Weichen is a capital crime, Your Majesty was injured in the lungs by Xiao Luan's sword, although it has been stabilized at present, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid." ”

"I'm afraid of what?" Wei Ran roared

The imperial physician looked at the people in the room, and did not dare to speak, Wei Ran saw this and asked the others to go out first, and the imperial physician saw that there was no one else in the room, and the imperial physician cried and said: "Even if Your Majesty can escape death this time, but he will be riddled with old diseases for life, and I am afraid that the destiny of heaven will not last long." ”

Wei Ran stood in place after hearing this, hesitated for a long time, and said sharply to the imperial doctor: "If others ask, they will say that although Your Majesty is too injured, his life is safe, do you understand?" ”

Seeing the imperial doctor nodding yes, Wei Ran walked out of the door. Looking at the ministers outside the door, Wei Ran pretended to be calm and said, "Your Majesty is too injured, but his life is safe, where is Chen Yuan'er?" Take Bengong to see him. ”

At this time, Chen Yuan'er was really at the limit of his life, and when Wei Ran saw Chen Yuan'er, Chen Yuan'er was already dying.

Wei Ran hurriedly walked to Chen Yuan'er's side, Chen Yuan'er was trampled by the horse's hooves and broke his ribs, and the ribs were inserted into his heart, and there was no medicine.

Seeing Wei Ran crying there, Chen Yuan'er showed a smile instead, although with his current expression, Chen Yuan'er's smile was even more terrifying.

"Wei. . . Public.. Your Majesty.. Returnable. Good? ”

Listening to Chen Yuan'er's intermittent words with all his strength, Wei Ran cried and said, "Gonggong Chen, rest assured, Your Majesty's life is safe, and he will be cured in a few days." ”

"Your Majesty. Too.. Pass. The house is kind-hearted. This Xiao Luan killed his father. time. It's all so resolute. Your Majesty.. Actually.. I still think about it. Brotherhood.. with his city... Chen Yuan'er coughed and said, "Old slave." Promise.. Pass. The First Emperor. To use. own life. Change.. Your Majesty One. Life.. Now. The old slave did it. ”

Wei Ran just kept nodding, but the tears still couldn't stop falling.

Looking at Wei Ran, a tear flowed from the corner of Chen Yuan'er's eyes: "Old slave." Is.. I'm going to accompany the first emperor. The First Emperor. Below. It must be lonely... ”

With a painful wail, Chen Yuan'er forced a sigh of relief: "Duke Wei, Your Majesty. . . There are no children yet. It's time for this. Wei Gong. Be sure to let Your Majesty open it. Heart knots. Get married as soon as possible. Prince.. It is the foundation of the country. ”

Wei Ran nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let Your Majesty give birth to a dragon son early." ”

"It's a pity. Can not see. Your Majesty.. On the day Jiankang ascended the throne... I can't see it either. Lu Cao. Xiao Luan. Two.. Thieves. It's the day of the beheading. I can't see it. Your Majesty.. Dominate the mountains and rivers. It's that day. The First Emperor. Wait. Old slave. Here it comes.... ”

Looking at Chen Yuan'er, who had closed his eyes and was no longer breathing, Wei Ran silently closed his eyes and muttered: "Gonggong Chen, rest assured, I will definitely make Your Majesty the one who ends this troubled world." ”

Then Wei Ran walked out of the door and said: "Gonggong Chen has passed away, the body will not be buried for the time being, it will be preserved, and it will be buried with the first emperor after Jiankang is captured!" ”

Wei Ran slowly walked towards the main hall, and at this time, all the ministers and generals were waiting in the main hall. After Wei Ran sat down in the first position on his right hand, he looked at everyone coldly and said, "Your Majesty takes care of flesh and blood, but I didn't expect the thief Xiao Luan to lose his conscience and live up to his humanity. killed his father first, and now he kills his brother, fortunately, His Majesty was blessed by God, and Gonggong Chen saved His Majesty desperately, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Then Wei Ran pulled out the Taiping Sword and slashed at the table beside him, and the table immediately turned into two halves.

All the ministers were taken aback, and Wei Ran said fiercely: "Send someone, go to Jiangling, and bring my wife, Princess Yanran is Your Majesty's sister, and she is now the only relative, and it is safest for her to take care of Your Majesty." ”

Then Wei Ran got up and looked at everyone: "Your Majesty is now in poor health, I have changed my mind, tomorrow I will reward the three armies and storm Jiankang City, before Your Majesty recovers, we must capture Jiankang and let Your Majesty officially ascend the throne in Taicheng." When the city was broken, Xiao Luan was old and young, and no one was left. The people informed the Northern Qin that if they did not move on the north bank, they would be sent back to Princess Zhaoyang when I captured Jiankang. If Northern Qin is obsessed. ”

Wei Ran picked up the sword in his hand, slashed at the pillar beside him, and roared: "Then Bengong will take the Zhaoyang princess sacrifice flag, and then annihilate the enemy of Northern Qin." ”

When everyone saw Wei Ran like this, they didn't dare to speak, what they often saw was an invincible Wei Ran on the battlefield, and ignored that he was only twenty years old this year. It was the time when the blood was strong, especially Xiao Ju, who was like a brother, was almost killed by this catastrophe, and no one questioned that Wei Ran's words were a joke.

Xiao Luan, who returned to Jiankang City, regretted that he had failed to kill Xiao Ju at such a good opportunity, and for Xiao Luan's behavior this time, not only Lu Lu was stunned after hearing this, but even Yuan Huzhi, who has now become Xiao Luan's confidant, was even more surprised.

"Your Majesty, you should have informed Weichen in advance of such actions." In the Shangyuan Palace, Yuan Huzhi hurriedly spoke.

"Yuan Aiqing also thinks it's a pity, Xiao Ju has no children under his knees, if he kills Xiao Ju, his soldiers and horses will be leaderless and scatter on their own, wouldn't it be wonderful." After Xiao Luan finished speaking, he said with regret: "It's a pity, it's just a little bit." ”

"Your Majesty's words are very wrong, if it happens, then the rebels will be even more unscrupulous, Xiao Ju has a docile personality and is not good at killing. At the critical moment, he threatened the people in the city, and Xiao Ju did not dare to act rashly. Wei Ran is young and ruthless, in the past, he didn't even let go of the captives in eastern Zhejiang, but now Xiao Ju is seriously injured, and the minister guesses that Wei Ran will launch a fierce attack tomorrow. ”

When Xiao Luan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "Wei Ran is younger than me, how can he be so capable?" Now that Xiao Ju is seriously injured, do the rebels dare to fight again? ”

At this moment, Princess Zhaoyang rushed into Shangyuan Palace, and Xiao Luan hurriedly got up and said, "How could the queen come here?" ”

Princess Zhaoyang then took out a notice and said: "Wei Ran was furious, saying that on the day the city was broken, he slaughtered His Majesty's door, and at the same time threatened that if Northern Qin dared to send troops, he would take the concubine to sacrifice the flag." ”

Looking at Yuan Yun, who was crying in front of him, Xiao Luan threw the information on the ground and said coldly: "Wei Ran'er is a little girl, how can he resist the alliance between me and the Northern Qin, the queen should not panic, wait for me to destroy Wei Ran with my own hands, and divide his five horses into the body of the concubine to vent his anger." ”

After coaxing the queen, Xiao Luan turned around and said to Yuan Huzhi: "The queen's words, Aiqing already knows. Jiankang must be defended, and when the Northern Qin army arrives, the inside and outside should be combined to exterminate the rebels. ”
